break pads and rotors

My brakes need servicing as they are more or less done for so i'm in the market for some good brake pads and rotors!
Any suggestions?

Bob, I've pretty much given up on telling the kids how to spell.
They tend ignore it as being unimportant.
I still do it once in a while though.

If you see a design you want that isnt listed then contact them.
Like mine wasnt listed (the premium w/standard slats)

The premium rotors have a 3500 strength (tinsel strength maybe...? I forget what they call it). Standards are 3000.

I forget which pads I got....i will look.

I know, but it is irritatingly bothersome as hell!

hahaha

sounds like a engineer's christmas joke.... "tinsel strength"... the word you're looking for is "tensile strength"

Stock rotors, Hawk pads, stainless steel brake lines, and a quality brake fluid is going to be LEAPs AND BOUNDs better than some cheesy slotted and/or drilled rotors and pads.

I would have to agree with this. New rotors are mostly for looks unless you are adding a big brake kit.

You make that sounds as if looks is a bad thing! lol
-there is nothing wrong with new rotors and pads. You also
dont need to bleed or open up the system that way so its allot easier.

Hey Sponge BOB you know what's more irritating than a bad speller?
Someone that makes annoying comments and does not contribute to a thread!
English is not my native language plus I speak 2 more languages so i'm allowed to make a few spelling errors.
I'd appreciate if you minimized your comments to useful feedback or nothing at all!
Peace out!

It is interesting in your flaming comment that you made no errors and your grammar was pretty good.

My brakes are squeeking pretty bad so pads are a must for me! I was also thinking slotted rotors but more for looks than anything else.

I've had rotorpros drilled and slotted on my car for over 40k miles and they've been great. No warping or cracking at all.
